Analysis
ENGINE AHEAD — Brussels Effect covers 82% of humanity via GDPR derivatives. AI Act, DMA, DSA constrain gatekeepers. But: managed containment, not resistance. Lacks sovereign compute (Gaia-X failed), frontier AI (Mistral on Azure), independent intelligence (Crypto AG/Maximator). BlackRock drafts ESG rules. Digital Euro = central bank digital currency. Populism = false dialectic. EU sanitizes and legitimizes the centralized power structure.
